This work shows that in the frame of the stochastic generalization of the quantum hydrodynamic analogy (QHA) the uncertainty principle is fully compatible with the postulate of finite transmission speed of light and information. The theory shows that the measurement process performed in the large scale classical limit in presence of background noise, cannot have a duration smaller than the time need to the light to travel the distance up to which the quantum non-local interaction extend itself. The product of the minimum measuring time multiplied by the variance of energy fluctuation due to presence of stochastic noise shows to lead to the minimum uncertainty principle. The paper also shows that the uncertainty relations can be also derived if applied to the indetermination of position and momentum of a particle of mass m in a quantum fluctuating environment.

The notions of error and disturbance appearing in quantum uncertainty relations are often quantified by the discrepancy of a physical quantity from its ideal value. However, these real and ideal values are not the outcomes of simultaneous measurements, and comparing the values of unmeasured observables is not necessarily meaningful according to quantum theory. To overcome these conceptual difficulties, we take a different approach and define error and disturbance in an operational manner. In particular, we formulate both in terms of the probability that one can successfully distinguish the actual measurement device from the relevant hypothetical ideal by any experimental test whatsoever. This definition itself does not rely on the formalism of quantum theory, avoiding many of the conceptual difficulties of usual definitions. We then derive new Heisenberg-type uncertainty relations for both joint measurability and the error-disturbance tradeoff for arbitrary observables of finite-dimensional systems, as well as for the case of position and momentum. Our relations may be directly applied in information processing settings, for example to infer that devices which can faithfully transmit information regarding one observable do not leak any information about conjugate observables to the environment. We also show that Englert's wave-particle duality relation [PRL 77, 2154 (1996)] can be viewed as an error-disturbance uncertainty relation.

Abstract In this paper, we discuss quantum uncertainty relations of Tsallis relative $\alpha$ entropy coherence for a single qubit system based on three mutually unbiased bases. For $\alpha\in[\frac{1}{2},1)\cup(1,2]$, the upper and lower bounds of sums of coherence are obtained. However, the above results cannot be verified directly for any $\alpha\in(0,\frac{1}{2})$. Hence, we only consider the special case of $\alpha=\frac{1}{n+1}$, where $n$ is a positive integer, and we obtain the upper and lower bounds. By comparing the upper and lower bounds, we find that the upper bound is equal to the lower bound for the special $\alpha=\frac{1}{2}$, and the differences between the upper and the lower bounds will increase as $\alpha$ increases. Furthermore, we discuss the tendency of the sum of coherence, and find that it has the same tendency with respect to the different $\theta$ or $\varphi$, which is opposite to the uncertainty relations based on the R\'{e}nyi entropy and Tsallis entropy.
